The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, February 15, 1906 At the home of MR. and MRS. J.M. DE LAY the marriage of their daughter, LULU M., to MR. ALVA S. ANDRES was solemnized last evening, February 14, 1906. The ceremony was performed at seven o'clock by Rev. Dr. D.C. Franklin of the M.E. Church in the presence of the immediate relatives only. The bride was attired in a becoming gown of steel gray serge and presented a pleasing appearance. They were attended by the bride's brother and wife, MR. and MRS. CLIFTON DE LAY. The worthy couple expect to go to Kansas City in the near future where the groom will probably be in the employ of the Railway Company. The bride was born and reared in Chariton and for the past two years has been one of the Leader's faithful and efficient compositors. Her lady-like conduct, cheerful disposition and good character has won the confidence and esteem of all who know her. She is well fitted to preside over a happy household and make her young husband a home which will be a haven of rest. The groom is a son of R.S. ANDRES and has resided in Chariton for several years. He is highly esteemed for his sterling worth and as an individual of fine traits of character. The wedding came in the nature of a surprise to their many friends who nevertheless will join the leader in extending hearty congratulations and in the wish that their matrimonial pathway may be strewn with many of the beauties and comforts of life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 28, 2004 [email protected]
